I Took It Upon Myself

[Intro ]
E B7 E 


[Verso 1]
 
E 
I took it upon myself to take the package and run 
                                                        B7 
If I wait for someone else that shit would never get done 
                                E 
So now Im driving down the road trying to make my way to you 
                        B7 
I took it upon myself. It wasnt the brightest thing to do 
 


[Verso 2]
 
E 
Theres guards at the border wall, a couple more at the gate 
                                                        B7 
Im trying not to stall because this delivery just cant wait 
                      E 
So I pull up in my car, hoping they dont look in the trunk 
                         B7 
I took it upon myself, now I am praying were not sunk 
 


[Verso 3]
 
E 
Have you got anything to declare? Im just going to see my girl 
                                                               B7 
Dont you think its kind of late I tell you, man shes my world 
                              E 
When he waved me right through well, my spirits they did lift 
                                    B7 
When you take it upon yourself, every day is a gift 
 


[Verso 4]
 
E 
When I pulled up to her place, the porch light was still on 
                                                                B7 
I couldnt wait to see her face, but it turned out she was gone 
                              E 
Standing on her kitchen floor was the head of the cartel 
                         B7 
I took it upon myself, now the whole thing's gone to hell 
 


[Verso 5]
 
E 
They drove me out into the woods. They warned me to behave. 
                                                          B7 
Then they handed me a spade and made me dig my own grave 
                        E 
A shovel through the dirt I know its too late to pray 
                         B7                       E 
I took it upon myself to make the bed where I lay 
                         B7                       E 
I took it upon myself to make the bed where I lay
